One type of leather is soft and thick to the touch, the other is hard with a flatter pattern. The suede also comes in 2 types, a greeny grey and normal grey. As demonstrated in the pictures, sometimes they used both types of suede on the one seat lol, but the whole interior is the one type of leather normally (from what I've seen). I've had a few F6's over the years, and yea this one's really got me.^^ Softer / Thicker feeling leather. Upper right bolstering has grey suede, lower bolstering has greeny grey suede.^^ Harder leather with a flatter more grainy pattern. All bolstering suede is the grey grey.

The suede IS NOT faded, as it is the same colour in parts of the seat not exposed to sunlight or ass contact. Same with the leather from what I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality or consistency come second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, its Ford's purchasing department that would've squeezed the contract to make them resort to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
